As new provider types come onto the Information Governance scene, it can be difficult as a Provider to know exactly what information you need to provide and which standards you need to comply with.
Following a number of queries, the Information Governance Policy team have issued an information notice to clarify the position regarding the status of IG Toolkit scores for community pharmacies.
For IG Toolkit version 7 (2009-2010) community pharmacies were required to carry out a baseline assessment against the requirements. This was to provide a baseline for improvements to be made where necessary. By 31 March 2011 community pharmacies will be expected to attain level 2 against the version 8 requirements.
